Truly 4.5 Stars. The Chili Disc Golf is another feather in the cap of Rochester’s disc golf scene. This is a beautiful links style(ball golf style) course in a park. While I adore disc golf’s blending with other park dwellers, it is refreshing to play a course where the only other people there are disc golf enthusiasts. The on site bathrooms are not always open, but they are maintained well by the Chili parks department. The front nine finish at the parking lot, and the back nine starts at the same place. This is an underrated perk; it is nice to play one half of the course or start on the back nine if there is a crowd. Every tee is concrete and long enough for my ridiculous approach. The course itself is a challenge for all skill levels. My wife has a weaker arm than I do, but my long shots are punished if they stray from the fairways. There are four notable holes on the course. Hole #6 plays out of the woods, across the creek, and dog ears hard to the left. Hole #11 is a monster; a 911 foot par 4. Hole #17 plays with an old grain silo as an obstacle. And Hole #18 is a beautiful back and forth 716 foot that plays to a man made hill. The bugs can be out of control here, but it’s summer. Complaining about mosquitoes seems crazy. This is a beautiful course and a must play for every fan of the sport.
